Why go

Sokcho Eye is a large Ferris wheel situated at Sokcho Beach on the Gangwon coast, offering riders sweeping panoramic views of the East Sea, the surrounding mountains, and the city of Sokcho below. Each enclosed gondola completes a slow, full rotation, giving visitors a rare vantage point across the coastline toward Seoraksan National Park. The ride is accessible year-round and is particularly popular at sunset and after dark, when the sea and cityscape take on a distinctly different character. It serves as one of the most recognizable landmarks on the northeastern Korean coast.
